Costa Rica AFAORCA Cerro del Fuego RELATIONSHIP NOTES This year marks our 17th year of purchases from the AFAORCA coop. AFAORCA is an acronym that stands for Asociaciòn de Familias Organicas de los Cerros Caraigres. The group has always impressed us with their standards of quality and hard work. Over the years Batdorf & Bronson® has supported many projects they initiated, including honey production and the opening of their own café and roasting operations, along with their own dry milling operation. The group is constantly working to diversify themselves in ways that make them less dependent on annual market swings in both volume and price of coffee. In recent years we have also worked with the group on pre-financing some of their harvest, so they have money when they need it the most: during the harvest time. This reduces the amount of money they need to borrow from banks at high interest rates. These are just a couple examples of what makes AFAORCA one of our true relationship coffees. PRODUCTION NOTES The coffee is collected throughout the harvest season from many small farms in the Tarrazu Valley. There are currently 28 different families/farms that are members of the cooperative. Nearly all of the farms are very diverse and produce many crops besides coffee, including citrus fruits and avocados. There is always a canopy of shade providing protection to the soil and refuge for birds and wildlife. Only approved organic inputs are used on the farms. CUP CHARACTERISTICS This year our purchase is a “honey” process coffee, meaning the coffee is de-pulped and then immediately spread on elevated screens for drying. The mucilage is left on the parchment and imparts a fruiter cup profile that is also thought to add sweetness and body. In the cup we find flavors of fleshy fruit like peach and melon, layered with buttery nuts like macadamia. The coffee has a sweet lingering finish. Our most celebrated single origin coffees from every growing region around the globe.

RELATIONSHIP NOTESThis year marks our 17th year of purchases from the AFAORCA coop. AFAORCA is an acronym that stands for Asociaciòn de Familias Organicas de los Cerros Caraigres. The group has always impressed us with their standards of quality and hard work. Over the years Batdorf & Bronson® has supported many projects they initiated, including honey production and the opening of their own café and roasting operations, along with their own dry milling operation. The group is constantly working to diversify themselves in ways that make them less dependent on annual market swings in

both volume and price of coffee. In recent years we have also worked with the group on pre-financing some of their harvest, so they have money when they need it the most: during the harvest time. This reduces the amount of money they

need to borrow from banks at high interest rates. These are just a couple examples of what makes AFAORCA one of our true relationship coffees.

PRODUCTION NOTESThe coffee is collected throughout the harvest season from many small farms in the Tarrazu Valley. There are currently 28 different families/farms that are members of the cooperative. Nearly all of the farms are very diverse and produce many crops besides coffee, including citrus fruits and avocados. There is always a canopy of shade providing protection to the soil and refuge for birds and wildlife. Only approved organic inputs are used on the farms.

CUP CHARACTERISTICSThis year our purchase is a “honey” process coffee, meaning the coffee is de-pulped and then immediately spread on elevated screens for drying. The mucilage is left on the parchment and imparts a fruiter cup profile that is also thought to add sweetness and body. In the cup we find flavors of fleshy fruit like peach and melon, layered with buttery nuts like macadamia. The coffee has a sweet lingering finish.
